Could this be the reason why Wahu took so long to transition to gospel?
Well, Wahu Kagwi Mathenge has disclosed something rather shocking that her fans dint know about her.
Apparently the mother of two has disclosed that she does not regret doing secular music at all.
In her interview she said, “My regret is that I stayed away from God because I did feel I was angry with the church and I let that overtake my relationship with Christ. In terms of my journey, I have no regret. I knew it was God and even the award that I won, I could feel it was God’s doing.”
Wahu, who recently commited her life to Christ has so far released three gospel songs to her name ever since she made the switch, says that she is grateful for the reception she got since she announced her move.
In addition she said, “I’m grateful for the reception and there has been a lot of positive comment since I made my announcement that I was changing to gospel. I received a lot of support from the church and the gospel circle so I’m overwhelmed because the non-gospel artistes are also really supporting me which speaks a lot.”
Contrary to many opinions, Wahu revealed that there are secular artistes who have a very tight relationship with God.
“I regret most living away from Christ and I have even told God about it. The reason I am saying that is because there are secular artistes who have a very tight relationship with God and that is their journey,” she narrated.
Wahu says her secular songs were never explicit. “I was true to doing my singing, even as a secular artiste, and I don’t regret having done secular music because it was part of my journey.
“Even then, I did back-up music for gospel artistes although at the time, I felt there was a bit of a [lack of] authenticity because I could see some church leaders preaching wine and drinking water.
“I did see God’s favour because most of the things I achieved then were through His grace.
I did not write bad music because most were all about women empowerment and the like.”
Wahu is currently promoting her new song Nifanane Nawe.
“The song reminds people of the virtues that Christ has so they can also emulate [them]. I desire to be more like Christ,” she said
